Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16278 Released for PC

Microsoft is releasing new builds to Insiders more quickly as the development team is working to stabilize the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update rather than adding more features. Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16278 is released for PC users in the fast ring (not skip ahead). If you are enrolled yourself as an Insider you can install this build and experience a bundle of bug fixes.

The Microsoft team is beginning the development for Redstone 4, hence we can’t expect the addition of new features in the preview builds of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

The Windows 10 Insiders help Microsoft development team to fix Windows 10 issues before the public release of the products.

Microsoft announced, “Skip Ahead is now full so if you try to join, it will let you know that in the Settings app. But don’t worry! Once the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update is released, Skip Ahead goes away and all Insiders in the Fast ring will get moved back to the RS_PRERELEASE branch for RS4”.
